It shows that young adults who eat at least 21 grams of fiber a day over a ten year period gained an average of eight pounds less than those who ate less fiber.
Even those people who ate more fat gained less weight when eating fiber.
You can get the recommended 20 to 25 grams of fiber a day by eating one bowl of high fiber cereal.
